Artist: thatmanmonkz Title: Won Hunnid EP Release Date: 23rd February (Vinyl) / 2nd March 2015 (Digital) Format: 12” Vinyl / Digital Cat No: DOG39 / DOGD39

2014 was a big year for Scott Moncrieff AKA thatmanmonkz. Not only did his own label Shadeleaf become firmly established he dropped brilliantly received releases on both Kolour LTD and here on D.O.G.
Scott has managed to tread that fine line of simultaneously picking up props from all angles and wrecking dancefloors the world over whilst remaining resolutely underground and focused on the more interesting corners of dance music. RA rightly stated that ‘Despite the pivotal part his hometown has played in electronic music history, you can't shake the feeling that if this were the work of some auteur from Detroit, Thatmanmonkz would receive wider recognition from the house community.’ And that is why we love him!
Here on his follow up to last years Don’t Slip EP, he delivers 3 lo-fi, dusty, soul- tinged nuggets which have that unique yet instantly identifiable character only the most talented producers are capable of making. Opener In The Trees featuring the vocals of Kahill Anthony who adds a soulful touch to the raw, bumping groove set up by monkz. The kind of magic track that’ll get lodged in your mind and have the heads clamoring for the info when dropped on a big system. Flip over for Make It Now which treads a more familiar loopy disco path but does so in such fine style that you’ll be coming back to this one time and time again. Finally we have Sad n Blue which drops the deepness with fizzing Detroit padz and killer vox samples giving a nod to the moody one but with a throbbing bassline straight out of the nu school. thatmanmonkz is currently holed up in his studio making tracks for his debut LP which we’re happy to announce will be dropping towards the end of this year here on Delusions.

4lux1501 A1 NICHOLAS FT. MADAFI PIERRE - CATCH THE SUN (DEEP MIX)

A hypnotic descent into shifting dimensions, Fractured Realms bends the line between order and chaos. Pulsating low-end pressure drives forward while eerie synth fragments fracture and reform, creating an atmosphere that feels both futuristic and ancient. This is techno carved in shadows — a relentless trip designed for the deepest corners of the night.

Despite the thought that established producers get all of their material snatched up by labels in a heartbeat, the actual reality is that everyone makes music that sometimes can't find a home right away. We recently featured an unsigned track from a fairly prominent name in Tooli and today we've got another one for you from Joe Morris of Clandestino. Here's what Joe had to say about the track:

Hey folks. I’ve been making music for around 10 years now and released on a bunch of nice labels. I also co-run the Clandestino label and party collective here in Leeds, UK.

So this track was one of two new things I wrote with a more house / club feel. I wanted to write some club friendly tracks after having a bunch of downtempo things out recently. I was hoping to keep the two tracks together but the other one got picked up so I thought it would be interesting to send to Bolting Bits and see if it gets the attention of any labels I’ve not worked with before. The track kicks off with some dreamy pads, a vibe I’m always drawn to. The drums are in a kinda classic Detroit house style, with a warm chord sequence throughout. For decoration I played some atmospheric keys from the Korg M1 and I’ve included an old hardcore / jungle sample during the breakdown. A de rigueur thing to do right now on house tracks so shoot me for being a vapid bandwagon jumper if you will but hey, it works. The main synth hook was a kind of happy accident. I loaded up Massive on my Kontrol workstation and played in a part that luckily just worked the first time so I kept it in there. Finally I added a touch of grainy white noise to sit underneath for a bit of texture. The whole track came together in a few hours which is super rare for me. Anyway thanks for listening, hope you like x
